          I do not see a link to the video or conversation of this interview in this topic. My search didn't find any other. I assume I didn't search well enough but I find it important to at least post this link to the 1969 interview just in case we missed it somehow.

          I would like to be corrected.

          and wrote a Dune Novel."
